PA envoy: UNESCO vote on Jerusalem reminds Israel it is occupier
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Authority’s deputy ambassador to UNESCO, Mounir Anastas, tells reporters the newly approved UNESCO vote on Jerusalem “reminds Israel that they are the occupying power in East Jerusalem and it asks them to stop all their violations.”
These violations include archaeological excavations around religious sites, Anastas says.
The resolution effectively disregards Jewish and Christian ties to Jerusalem holy sites, and has led Israel to cut ties with the cultural body.
